מילים לשיר Great Southern Land – Icehouse

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
city on a rainy day down in the harbour
anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
this is not the way that i remember it here
looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
Great Southern Land, burned you black hidden in the summer for a million years so you look into the land and it will tell you a story
story 'bout a journey ended long ago
". . they're gonna betray, they're gonna forget you
if you listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
maybe you can hear them talking like I do
are you gonna let them take you over this way . ." you walk alone like a primitive man
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
see their hungry eyes, its a hungry home
and they make it work with sticks and bones
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
they burned you black, black against the ground
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land they burned you black, black against the ground
Great Southern Land, in the sleeping sun
you walk alone with the ghost of time
and they make it work with rocks and sand
I hear the sound of the stanger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
you walk alone with the ghost of time
and they burned you black
you walk alone, like a primitive man
yeah, they burned you black
Great Southern Land.
